The existence of a great cultural background in the Philippines has given many visitors the privilege to peek into and experience the Filipino way of life. Their eagerness to share their culture with the world has led to the birth of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).
This cultural center, located on Roxas Boulevard is home to several theaters, a library, a museum, galleries, exhibition rooms and restaurants. Being the pride and joy of Imelda Marcos, the former first lady, the CCP was built based on a vision to promote and boost culture. However, it was unfortunate that past cultural policy has restricted free development of both the performing and visual arts. Nevertheless, at this present day, supporting free expression has become the center's cultural policy. Operating on this policy, it is with hope that the local arts will soon find their way to the world stage.
